Over a thousand horses and ponies will take part in this year’s Failte Ireland Horse Show which got underway at the RDS in Dublin this morning.

Teams from eight countries will compete for an overall prize fund of €800,000 at the event which has been running now for 135 years.

This year’s show also sees the return of Eddie Macken.

After a ten-year break, he joins Jessica Kurten, Cian O’ Connor, Edward Doyle and Denis Lynch on the Nations Cup panel.
